Freiheit!: The White Rose Graphic Novel
by Andrea Grosso Ciponte
Freiheit is a graphic novel of the story of the White Rose. In 1943, a group of young men and women in Munich put out a set of six leaflets denouncing Hitler. Freiheit tells their story. I love the graphic novel format and have read at least one other novel about this group that this really intrigued me. However I feel like it fell short and part of that might be the medium that it is told in. Since it is in short graphic novel format it does not go very in depth about what happened and a lot of scenes only last a couple of pages making it feel almost like we are being cut off thought. This is the book you read in order to wet your toes in the story of the White Rose and then go more in depth with other books. I will say the thing I loved the most was that at the end they include all six leaflets giving the read a chance to read what the group had to say. If you are new to this group or have a teenager that like history and graphic novels.
